American actress Mildred Natwick was BOTD in 1905. Born in Baltimore, Maryland to a rural farming family, she attended Bryn Mawr School in Baltimore and Bennett College. She began her professional career in repertory theatre, making her Broadway debut in 1932. She became a popular stage actress, and was twice nominated for Tony Awards for the play The Waltz of the Toreadors and the musical 70 Girls 70. Though largely uninterested in Hollywood, she appeared in several films directed by John Ford, including The Long Voyage Home, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon and The Quiet Man, and appeared in Alfred Hitchcock‘s The Trouble With Harry. In 1967, she earned an Oscar nomination for her supporting role in Barefoot in the Park, and appeared in Peter Bogdanovich’s eccentric 1974 adaptation of Henry James’ novella Daisy Miller. Alongside stage work, she guest-starred on TV series McMillan & Wife, Alice, The Love Boat and Murder, She Wrote. She made her final film appearance, aged 83, in Stephen Frears’ Dangerous Liaisons. Discreetly lesbian, a Christian Scientist and life-long supporter of the Republican Party, Natwick lived in New York for most of her life, dying in 1994 aged 89.
